Meaningless test, different putter heads were used.

Forget LA Golf ... but of those, the TPT is the only one that you know is perfectly round and to spec - it is entirely machine made. Having used it in a LAB DF3 on the practice green for the last week, I like it. Worth it? I like equipment to spec. If you are willing to spend on LA Golf, get the TPT if you want a LAB putter.

I think the only problem is that the TPT can only be purchased with a LAB putter, and I understand not everyone wants a LAB.

I'm in the same boat I don't really want a LAB, but will probably grab a DF3 because of the rave reviews and I can then get the TPT shaft lol.

Some of the graphites that are described as stable feel lifeless to me. Steel feels solid and connected. I didn’t notice a change in putting stats with the composite shafts.

I think you could be correct in those statements. I remember my very first graphite putter shaft (Stability Carbon) and thought it felt like a telephone pole, but my distance control was so much better. I came around on the feel after putting with it for a few rounds.

My first aftermarket was the BGT in a 2017 Lab DF (the original). The shaft did not do much for me that I could tell. The putter was too light ... they've corrected that.

The TPT feels great ... I know it's in a DF3 but I also like the tech. I can relax with this putter.
